Set of extruded shapes for glass balcony railings and enclosures

Abstract

A fourth shape (40) is placed on each side of the corresponding column of the first shape and has a substantially horizontal wing (42) at the free end of which has a longitudinal projection (43) that seats in connection with the longitudinal recess seat (27′).) of the third shape: said horizontal wing (42) is continued by a section of shape (45) partially attached against the external face of the respective column up to where a continuous concave surface (47) projects facing a hosted light source in (39h).

What I claim: 
     
       1. A set of extruded shapes for glass balcony railings and enclosures, each one of said set of extruded shapes comprising a longitudinal axis with equal transversal successive sections thereof perpendicular to said longitudinal axis, comprising in combination:
 a first shape configured to be anchored to a surface, and comprising a base plate resting on said surface, monolithically projecting from said base plate two columns separated the one from the other defining in between its internal faces a longitudinal channel or space opened upwards, comprising an upper end of each of said columns with a longitudinal groove determining a wing on each side of each groove; 
 second shapes substantially placed vertically aligned on top of each of said columns of the first shape; an appendix projecting from a lower end of each of said second shapes and lodged in retention in the longitudinal groove of each column of the first shape, the mutually facing surfaces of said second shapes separated from each other in continuation of the longitudinal channel of the first shape; an upper end of each second shape having a longitudinal recess on its edge with an internal face thereof determining a seat and fastening means for a respective third shape: an external surface of each second shape is aligned in continuity to the external surface of each column of the first shape; 
 third shapes, each comprising at least one upper surface which rests on an upper end of the corresponding second shape, an internal edge of said upper surface of each third shape comprising a longitudinal fold complementary to the longitudinal recess of the second shape within which sits on retention; from an upper surface of each third shape a wall extends monolithically downwards adjacent to the external surface of both first and second shapes, covering the joint between them; a lower end of said wall of the third shape has a monolithically projected outward fold at the end of which bends downwards without reaching the upper face of the corresponding wing of the first shape, forming at the lower end a longitudinal “L” seat turned towards the external surface of each column of the first shape; and 
 a wall from a fourth shape is placed against each side of the corresponding column of the first shape, a substantially horizontal wing projects from the upper end of said wall with a free end thereof comprising a longitudinal projection that seats in connection with the longitudinal “L” seat of the third shape, wherein the lower end of said wall of this fourth shape extends downwards until reaching a distance from the wing of the first shape, from which a longitudinal surface projects outward, ending abutting the edge of the respective wing of the first shape; each of said fourth shapes comprising retaining means to the external surface of each respective column of the first shape; the longitudinal channel between both columns of the first shapes and the internal faces of the second shapes determining a seat within which a glass plate lodges against polymeric wedges and counter-glass placed between said glass plate and the internal faces of the said longitudinal channel. 
 
     
     
       2. The set of extruded shapes of  claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal grooves at the top of each column of the first shape presents a first vertical section open upwards, followed by a dovetail-like expansion which houses in retention the appendix projecting downwards from the lower end of the second shape. 
     
     
       3. The set of extruded shapes of  claim 1 , wherein each upper portion of an external and an internal wall of each column of the first shape in its crown has a protruding longitudinal rib that sits in a complementary groove made in the lower end of the second shape that sits on said crown of each column of the first shape. 
     
     
       4. The set of extruded shapes of  claim 1 , wherein said upper surface of each third shape sits on the upper end of the second shape, continued by a substantially coplanar section of upper surface with a free end bending monolithically into a longitudinal external wall which is directed downwards; said external wall and a partition attached to the external surfaces of the first and second shapes inside it are monolithically joined by a substantially horizontal longitudinal partition which internally defines between both walls a longitudinal housing within which is placed a light source. 
     
     
       5. The set of extruded shapes of  claim 1 , wherein the fourth shape, between the substantially horizontal longitudinal surface and a vertical wall, has a curved longitudinal portion, with its concavity directed upwards substantially facing the respective longitudinal housing with the light source, said continuous concave surface defining a light reflecting means of the light emitted by said light source. 
     
     
       6. The set of extruded shapes of  claim 1 , wherein the glass plate housed in the channel seats with its lower edge on a polymeric wedge in “L” which laterally offers support to one face of the glass plate, while the opposite face of said glass plate is struck by another chock until its immobilization.
